The steamship William Lawrence, from
Baltimore, and the British steamship Con-
ingsby, from Philadelphia, were in collision
yesterday morning in Tybee roads The
weather was very hazy, and a strong ebb

along, bound up the river. In attempting
renee put her helm hard aport, and the
strong ebb tide caused her to swing broad
side on, and she struck the Coningsby on the
starboard bow. The Coningsby was unin-
jured, but the Lawrence had the woodwork
ON her port smashed in. The damage, how
ever, is very light.

the water at the escape pipe would locate
